I think it would be really cool if the arcade expressions you write in the web app, like in form builder, actually worked in Field Maps as well. What a common and frustrating experience, you spend a bunch of time building expressions and test them in the web map, to only find out that THEY WON'T WORK IN FIELD MAPS.

Like what a waste of time and energy.

Field Maps Designer does a bit of a better job blocking things that will not work in Field Maps vs the web form builder.  It is what you should use to build forms.   Give that a try.  Its not perfect still but better.

Hi @DarrylAlbert ,

I'm sorry you're running into some frustrating issues with arcade. Can you share some more details about what is not working? Are the arcade expressions returning errors in Field Maps or the wrong value/null results? If you can share some of the expressions that aren't working and how you're using them (forms, popups, attribute rules, etc) we may have some insight to help things get unstuck for you.
